Lucian Müller

Lucian Müller (17 March 1836 – 24 April 1898) was a German classical scholar.

Life

Müller was born in Merseburg in the Province of Saxony. After studying at the universities of Berlin and Halle, he lived for five years in the Netherlands, working on his Geschichte der klassischen Philologie in den Niederlanden (1869). Unable to obtain a university appointment in Germany, he accepted (1870) the professorship of Latin at the Imperial Historico-Philological Institute in St Petersburg.

He died in St Petersburg.

Works

Müller's works display great erudition and critical acumen, and also feature bitter attacks on eminent scholars whose opinions differ from his own. He was a disciple of the methods of Richard Bentley and Karl Lachmann. His De re metrica poetarum latinorum (1861; 2nd ed. 1894) represents a landmark in the investigation of the metrical system of the Roman poets (the dramatists excepted), and his Metrik der Griechen und Römer (2nd ed., 1885) is an excellent treatise on a limited subject (Eng. trans. by Samuel Ball Platner, Boston, 1892).

His other chief publications were:

  • G. Lucili saturarum reliquiae (1872), including the fragments of Accius and Sueius
  • Leben und Werke des Gaius Lucilius (1876; suppt. Luciliana, 1884)
  • edition of Horace (1869; 2nd ed. 1879;[lower-alpha 1] 3rd ed. 1897)
  • edition of Catullus (1870)[lower-alpha 1]
  • edition of Phaedrus (1877)
  • Quintus Horatius Flaccus, eine litterarhistorische Biographie (1880)
  • Quintus Ennius (1884), an introduction to the study of Roman poetry
  • Q. Enni carminum reliquiae (1884)
  • Livi Andronici et Gnaeus Naevius fabularum reliquiae (1885)
  • Der saturnische Vers und seine Denkmäler (1885)
  • Noni Marcelli compendiosa doctrina (1888)
  • De Pacuvii fabulis (1889)
  • De Accii fabulis disputatio (1890)
  • Ein Horazjubiläum (1892), contains a short autobiography
  • edition of Horace's Odes and Epodes, with German commentaries (1882)
  • edition of Horace's Satires and Epistles (1891–93)

Notes
  1. Written for the Bibliotheca Teubneriana.
    gollark: osmarksISA™️-2028 is a VLIW stack machine. Specifically, it executes a 384-bit instruction composed of 8 48-bit operations in parallel. There are 8 stacks, for safety. Each stack also has an associated base memory address register, which is used in some "addressing modes". Each stack holds 64-bit integers; popping/peeking an empty stack simply returns 0, and the stacks can hold at most 32 items. Exceeding a stack's capacity is runtime undefined behaviour. The operation encoding is: `AABBBCCCCCCCCC`:A = 2-bit conditional operation mode - 0 is "run unconditionally", 1 is "run if top value on stack is 0", 2 is "run if not 0", 3 is "run if first bit is ~~negative~~ 1".B = 3-bit index for the stack to use for the conditional.C = 9-bit opcode (for extensibility).
    gollark: By "really fast", I mean "in a few decaminutes, probably".
    gollark: I suppose I could just specify it really fast.
    gollark: I could, but do I really want to?
    gollark: You'll have to imagine it. It isn't 2028.
